Nemera cares: it’s Movember time

One man out of seven is diagnosed with prostate cancer. At Nemera we support and join the Movember movement to raise awareness and funds for men’s health – specifically prostate and testicular cancer.

What is Movember

Created by the Movember Foundation, Movember began in Australia in 2003 to raise awareness for prostate and testicular cancer. This initiative has quickly grown into a global movement focused on men’s health.

The foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to tackling men’s health on a global scale. Since 2003, over $710 million has been raised. The movement also funded more than 1,200 men’s health projects around the world.

The foundation aims to raise awareness of men’s health issues year-round, but focuses much of its efforts every November during what they have renamed “Movember.” So, each Movember, men around the world grow a mustache to act as a “billboard” to promote and start a conversation around men’s health.

Their vision is: “To have an everlasting impact on the face of men’s health.”

What is Movember for Nemera

At Nemera, we are proud to support Movember and to encourage all our employees to join this important cause, to help raise awareness of the most important health issues faced by men.

In France, Nemera’s employees will participate to the Beaujolais Marathon. For each registration Nemera will donate the amount corresponding to the Curie Institute.

“The men’s health issues supported by the Movember Foundation are so important,” said Marc Haemel, CEO. “We want to do our part at Nemera by supporting this initiative and getting our men and women involved in this great cause.”

Join Nemera and the Movember Foundation in supporting men’s health this Movember with your contribution of growing a moustache, getting active and talking about prevention at home. Contributing even a small part to the effort will make a difference for men everywhere.

Grow a moustache. Be active. Get involved with supporting men’s health this Movember.
